CAE Community of Practice Cyber Artificial Intelligence

Leading Institution: Towson University

NCAE-C Seal

Our Mission

To collaborate with both the CAE community and the NCAE-C Program Management Office (PMO) to build a Cybersecurity Excellence Community of Practice in Artificial Intelligence (CoP-CAI) in order to gather and share input from the broader community and support continuous program improvement at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

CoP-CAI Steering Committee

The CoP-CAI Steering Committee is composed of individuals with significant experience in the CAE program. Many of the members are the CAE Point-of-Contact (POC) at their institution and volunteer their time to provide valuable feedback about topics relevant to the CAE-CAI.

 

The CoP-CAI Steering Committee meets on a quarterly basis and our main goals for the academic year are to:

  1. Assist the CAE PMO and DOD CAEO in building and managing the NCAE-C Program to maintain quality, collaboration, and innovation;

  2. Assist in establishing a greater sense of community among CAE-CAI members;

  3. Provide support to assist new and existing fellow CAE-CD members in areas of interest through establishing a CAE-CAI Community of Practice.
